Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Clomipramine is now also approved for use in the treatment of OCD. Imipramine, nortriptyline, and amitriptyline are not approved for use in treating OCD.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The best response to a pregnant woman asking about medication usage is to talk with her obstetric practitioner because the best advice will come from someone who knows their health and pregnancy history. While Category A drugs have no known risk, they may be contraindicated by the woman's health condition or pregnancy issues and many pregnant women would not know what it means to be a Category A drug. Medications can be helpful during pregnancy if taken safely and appropriately. Although risk benefit needs to be weighed, it should occur with advice from the obstetric practitioner.
